With its twin tail, the F-15 Eagle is probably the most recognizable military jet fighter in the skies today, and is undoubtedly the most successful jet fighter of all time, having never been shot down in combat. Flown not only by the US Air Force but by the air forces of Israel, Saudi Arabi and even Japan, and, with almost 30 years service, the F-15 is the world's leading operational air superiority and interceptor.

Steve Davies and Doug Dildy draw on a vast array of sources including combat records, technical documents, and unpublished first-hand accounts from the pilots themselves to tell the story of this amazing plane, detailing such incredible feats as the Israeli F-15 which was successfully landed despite losing a wing. Containing over 100 breathtaking color photographs and comprising detailed technical information, this definitive history and guide to the world's most successful jet fighter is a "must have" for anyone interested in modern aviation.

""[The book's] size, along with its landscape format and glossy paper, means that photographs, which number in excess of 100 color images, are lavishly reproduced. This is a visually impressive book, and certainly does just to the rather photogrnic F-15 Eagle... In the case of F-15 Eagle Engaged, each author's unique abilities and backgrounds have come together to ensure that both asepcts are properly chronicled. Fortunately for us, this has resulted in this splendid book."" -Logbook
